What most men do not know is that the black cloud is a curse from God because of their obstinate sins, especially their obstinate sins against the Catholic faith. Other men do know that God justly punishes sinners. These men are known to say, “I know I am being punished for my sins” and “What goes around comes around.” The Bible words it this way: “By what things a man sinneth, by the same also he is tormented” (Wis. 11:17) and “He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that setteth a stone for his neighbour, shall stumble upon it: and he that layeth a snare for another, shall perish in it.” (Eclcus. 27:29) For instance, if you commit the sin of stealing, God will allow a thief to steal from you or God will destroy your ill-gotten goods in another way or He will allow you to keep them but will turn them into a curse. The law upon the heart informs all men that God punishes sinners for their wicked deeds either directly or by using the Devil, nature, animals, just men, or evil men to punish them. What most men do not know is that many of their deeds that they consider good are wicked in the eyes of the one true God, the God of the Catholic Church. Hence they do not always make the correct connection between their punishment and the sins that are the cause of their punishment. One of the purposes of this article is to enlighten sinners so that they can know precisely why black clouds follow them, so that men can identify all of the sins they commit and hence correctly identify why God is punishing them. Another purpose is to show them the only remedy for their sins. Mel is under the Romans One Curse – Faithlessness leads to obstinate immorality Mel “the Sunday Catholic” Gibson is under the wrath of God. A Sunday Catholic is a man who thinks he is Catholic but is not. He is also known as a nominal Catholic, which means Catholic in name only. Sunday Catholics believe that as long as they go to confession once a week and Mass on Sunday they are Catholic no matter how many sins against the faith they commit. They pretend to be Catholic on Sunday while the rest of the week they behave as faithless, immoral heathens. God publicly punished Mel Gibson on July 28, 2006, because of his obstinacy in not repenting and converting into the true Catholic Church after all the graces he got for making the very good movie The Passion of the Christ. His worst sins that led to his recent punishment are his mortal sins of apostasy and heresy that he publicly committed on Prime Time Live, ABC, February 17, 2004. Instead of using his movie to evangelize non-Catholics worldwide, Mel un-evangelized them by telling the world on Prime Time Live that men who die worshipping false gods and practicing false religions can be saved: Diane Sawyer: “When we talked with Mel, we wondered, does his Traditionalist view bar the door to heaven for Jews, Protestants, Muslims…” Mel Gibson: “That‟s not the case at all, absolutely not. It is possible for people who are not even Christians to get into heaven.” 6 Mel got this worst of all heresies from his heretic father, Hutton, who got it from preVatican II heretics and their many bad books with imprimaturs. (See my books The Salvation Dogma and Against Hutton Gibson.) During Mel‟s Prime Time Live interview he committed yet another mortal sin of heresy by implying that current-day Jews who do not believe in Jesus Christ are not uniquely guilty of the blood of Christ and of the crime of deicide. To defend his heresy, Mel denied by omission the Bible verse Matthew 27:25: “His blood be upon us and our children”: New York Times, “Gibson to Delete a Scene in „Passion,‟” by Sharon Waxman, February 4, 2004: “LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3 — Mel Gibson, responding to focus groups as much as to protests by Jewish critics, has decided to delete a controversial scene about Jews from his film, „The Passion of the Christ,‟ a close associate said today. A scene in the film, in which the Jewish high priest Caiphas calls down a kind of curse on the Jewish people by declaring of the Crucifixion, „His blood be on us and on our children,‟ will not be in the movie‟s final version, said the Gibson associate, who spoke on condition of anonymity. … Jewish leaders had warned that the passage from Matthew 27:25 was the historic source for many of the charges of deicide and Jews‟ collective guilt in the death of Jesus. Mr. Gibson‟s decision to remove the scene could indicate that he was being responsive to concerns of Jewish groups that the film will fuel anti-Semitism.” Mel removed Matthew 27:25 from the subtitles of his movie because he did not want people to believe what the Catholic Church infallibly teaches; that is, current-day Jews who do not believe in Jesus have inherited the bloodguilt of their Christ-denying ancestors who murdered Christ and hence are guilty of the crime of deicide. St. Basil the Great says, “They who persevere in their blindness inherit the blood-guilt of their fathers; for they cried out: „His blood be upon us, and upon our children.‟ (Mt. 27:25)”1 (See my book “Sin, Guilt, and the Passion of Christ: The removal of Matthew 27:25 does not remove the curse.”) Mel also committed many mortal sins against the faith by sins of omission. During all of his interviews about his movie The Passion of the Christ, Mel never once denounced the Vatican II Church as a non-Catholic Church and its leaders as apostate antipopes, which is what he supposedly believes. Hence the world was left wondering what Mel really believes. Mel‟s obstinate mortal sins are proof that he is a people pleaser and not a God pleaser. He loves men more than he loves God. Mel cannot believe in and live by the full deposit of the Catholic faith because he loves the glory of men more than the glory of God: Jesus says, “How can you believe, who receive glory one from another: and the glory which is from God alone, you do not seek? …For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.” (Jn. 5:44; 12:43) Mel needs to know that “by respect of person he will destroy himself.” (Eclcus. 20:24) In my book Sin, Guilt, and the Passion of Christ, I condemned Mel‟s sins, denounced him as a heretic, and called him to conversion. I did this first to make public reparation to the one true God, the God of the Catholic Church, whom Mel denied and blasphemed by 1 On Prayer, Sermon IX, PG 32; SS vol. II, p.384. 7 misrepresenting God and His dogmas. I then did this for the love of Mel‟s soul. If Mel had followed my Catholic advice, God would not have punished him on July 28, 2006: Richard J. M. Ibranyi, Sin, Guilt, and the Passion of Christ, April 2004: “Mel had, and still has, a unique opportunity to profess the full truth to the world, if he so wills it. No doubt, it was a major miracle that he got this far, to be able to produce and show this movie to the public. No doubt, he got a lot of actual graces for it, but no doubt he lost a lot of those graces, if not all, for removing Matthew 27:25 from the subtitles of his movie; for not mentioning the unique guilt of the apostate Jews; for saying apostate Jews are his brothers; for saying all men are children of God; and for teaching on Prime Time, ABC, February 17, that men who die worshipping false gods and practicing false religions can be saved and even men who do not believe in Jesus Christ, which is not just heresy but also apostasy. “…I know about Mel‟s immoral sins he committed in some of his other movies. This is the result of the Romans One Curse he is under for denying the faith. He must first clean up his faith and only then can he clean up his moral life by not making bad movies and by making proper amends and doing penance for his sins. …God desires the conversion and not the death of the sinner (Ez. 18:23). I see God working with Mel in a special way, which indicates some good will. …He said to Diane Sawyer on Prime Time, „I am a work in progress.‟ Indeed, all Catholics, until the day they die, are works in progress. Mel seems to be heading in the right direction, but his progress has not yet brought him into the Catholic Church. If he wants to finish the race, save his soul, he needs to be admonished, to hear where he is wrong and the truths that he must believe to be saved, for faith comes by hearing. He also needs to be truly humble to admit he is wrong. That is one reason I wrote this article, for the love of Mel, that he may be saved, and not just for Mel but for all men. The first reason is to give glory to God, His Word, His Passion, His Holy Mother Mary, and His Holy Catholic Church. “Mel, you made a statement that was inspired by the Holy Ghost when you told Diane Sawyer on Prime Time, „I might go where no one can find me.‟ Ah, if you do, only then will you have a chance to find the God whom you seem to be sincerely seeking and enter His Catholic Church. Only then, after a period of prayer, penance, reparation, study, and purification could you re-enter the public arena, if you so choose, and make only good movies, and stand up against adverse publicity, to tell the truth at all costs, even if it should cost you your life as a martyr for the Catholic faith so that you may truly share in „the Passion of the Christ‟ that you so wonderfully depicted in your epic movie.” Well if Mel was hiding after the release of his movie The Passion of the Christ, he did not remain hiding for too long; and it did him no good in getting closer to the true God and His commandments. Mel certainly was not hiding on July 28, 2006, when he was arrested in Malibu, California, for speeding at 87 mph in a 45 mph speed zone and for drunk driving, both mortal sins against the Fifth Commandment: ABC News Report: “…Gibson was arrested after deputies stopped his 2006 Lexus LS 430 for speeding at 2:36 a.m. Friday. Sheriff‟s spokesman Steve Whitmore said deputies clocked him doing 87 mph in a 45 mph zone. A breath test indicated Gibson‟s blood-alcohol level was 0.12 percent, Whitmore said. The legal limit in California is 0.08 percent. Gibson posted $5,000 bail and was released hours later. In his statement, Gibson said he has struggled with alcoholism and had taken steps „to ensure my return to health.‟” Mel‟s arrest is only one proof that he did not follow my Catholic advice. In his vanity and lust for Hollywood fame and recognition, Mel did not want to seem too religious, as this would make him a weirdo or a square in the eyes of the Hollywood crowd and his adoring public. As the modern saying goes, he wanted to show them that he is still cool or hip. As the Catholic saying goes, he wanted to show them that he is still vain and carnal, that he is still in love with the evil world and its wickedly foolish and sinful ways. In short, Mel would rather be profane than holy; he would rather be a buffoon than a 8 saint; he would rather be a fool in the eyes of God than a fool in the eyes of the “world seated in wickedness”! (1 Jn. 5:19) Mel’s Icon Productions produces evil entertainment and blasphemes Mary So what did Mel do to remedy the public‟s misconception that he just might really be getting holy by casting off the yoke of wickedness altogether? He dispelled these notions quickly by using his Icon Productions company to make and produce evil entertainment that places false gods and false religions in a good light and contains immorality. Mel produced the following entertainment after his movie The Passion of the Christ: “Icon Productions television movies and series include The Three Stooges (ABC), Evel Knievel (TNT), ClubHouse (CBS), Complete Savages (ABC), and Kevin Hill (UPN). …Patrick Breen stars as George Weiss, a no-nonsense, gay nanny, in UPN‟s new drama KEVIN HILL.” Cinematical, “Gibson Jumps on Teen Trilogy,” Posted Jul 23rd 2006 1:33PM by Erik Davis: “In case you haven‟t noticed, the hot new Hollywood trend these days is to find a series of books that feature kids with mystical powers, buy up all the rights, and develop each book into a film with the intentions of producing the next blockbuster trilogy. Ever since The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter films demolished the box office, studios are constantly on the hunt for a hot new teen-related franchise. Recently, Mel Gibson became the latest to purchase a ticket on the trend train after his Icon Productions optioned the rights to a trilogy by Libba Bray, tapping director Charles Sturridge (Lassie) to helm the first installment. According to Variety, the books „center on four rebel teens in Victorian England who gain power from access to a mysterious realm.‟ Oohh, a historical Harry Potter—I love it! The first two books in the series (A Great and Terrible Beauty, Rebel Angels) were both New York Times bestsellers; the third is due out next year.” Mel‟s Icon Productions also produced a movie Apocalypto that is due to be released on December 8, 2006. It deals with the idolatrous religion of the Mayan Indians and their prophecies. One can expect Mel‟s movie to place this false religion in a positive light. It was not enough for Mel to commit these mortal sins by making or producing evil entertainment and poisoning the public by spreading it like an infection. No, all this was not enough for Mel. He also furthers the work of the Antichrist by blaspheming God‟s tabernacle, the Blessed Virgin Mary: “And he [the Antichrist] opened his mouth unto blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.” (Apoc. 13: 6) How does Mel do this? By using an iconographic picture of the Blessed Virgin Mary as the logo for his company Icon Productions, which makes or produces evil sitcoms and movies. Hence Mel blasphemes God‟s tabernacle, the Blessed Virgin Mary, by using her to promote his idolatrous, apostate, heretical, and immoral filth. The Mel Gibson that was a faithless, immoral heretic before his movie The Passion of the Christ remained a faithless, immoral heretic after the making of the movie. This proves that Mel‟s motives for making the movie were not right. To him the movie was only a fad that temporarily quelled his guilty conscience. Yes, the Holy Ghost used Mel to make the movie but Mel did not benefit from it. Until now all of Mel‟s works have been motivated by vanity: “And when I turned myself to all the works which my hands had wrought, and to the labours wherein I had laboured in vain, I saw in all things vanity, and vexation of mind, and that nothing 9 was lasting under the sun. … Vanity of vanities, said Ecclesiastes: vanity of vanities, and all is vanity.” (Ecltes. 2:11; 1:2) I must emphasize Mel‟s mortal sins against the Catholic faith more than his mortal sins against the moral commandments because sins against the faith are the root cause of sins of immorality.2 Hence Mel‟s mortal sins against the Catholic faith, which place him outside the Catholic Church as a non-Catholic heretic, are the very root of Mel‟s problem—not his immoral sins, which can only be cured and remitted if he abjures his heresies and enters the Catholic Church. Mel‟s inability to overcome his mortal sin of alcoholism is one proof of this. In Romans, Chapter 1, St. Paul teaches that when God‟s chosen turn their back on Him by denying the faith, gross immorality prevails: “Because that, when they knew God, they have not glorified him as God or given thanks: but became vain in their thoughts. And their foolish heart was darkened. For, professing themselves to be wise, they became fools... Wherefore, God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness: to dishonour their own bodies among themselves. Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause, God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature. And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts, one towards another: men with men, working that which is filthy and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error. And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense to do those things which are not convenient. Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness: full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers, detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, foolish, dissolute: without affection, without fidelity, without mercy. Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death: and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them.” (Romans, Chapter 1) This is known as the Romans One Curse. God allows the Devil to trap men into sins of immorality especially when they work iniquity against the first three commandments; that is, they commit sins against the faith: “The lion always lieth in wait for prey: so do sins for them that work iniquities.” (Eclcus. 27:11) Mel‟s recent arrest for speeding during which he was drunk and used foul language to the officers—all of which are sins against the moral commandments—is one proof that Mel worked iniquity by sinning against the faith and hence is under the Romans One Curse. Drunkenness is one of the immoral sins that lies in wait for Mel because he works iniquity by denying Catholic dogmas, and hence he is a fool: “The heat of drunkenness is the stumblingblock of the fool, lessening strength and causing wounds.” (Eclcus. 31:40) What Mel, as well as many other obstinate mortal sinners, does not see is that his obstinate immoral sins are caused by his obstinate sins against the Catholic faith. He does not make this connection because he does not have the Catholic faith and is not sincere in wanting it. Hence Mel does not know the real cause of his immoral sins, the reason he cannot overcome them, and the ultimate reason that God is punishing him. For instance, because Mel does not ultimately care about the Catholic faith, he does not see how very evil and abominable his public sins against the Catholic faith were that he committed on Prime Time Live. In the eyes of God and true Catholics, his heretical sins are infinitely 2 See my book “Mary, God’s Masterpiece, and Lucifer’s Fall: Satan Temps Eve.” 10 worse than his immoral sins. Shocking and evil as his immoral sins are, his sins against the faith are much more evil and shocking to true Catholics. Mel gets blindsided by the punishments for his sins Because of Mel‟s obstinate blindness regarding his mortal sins against the Catholic faith, he cannot overcome his immoral sins and consistently gets blindsided by the punishments he deserves for them: “A mischievous counsel [the worst of which are apostasy and heresy] shall be rolled back upon the author, and he shall not know from whence it cometh to him.” (Eclcus. 27:30) God rolled Mel‟s heretical sins back upon Mel‟s head by placing him under the Romans One Curse and thus showing him in a carnal way just how evil he is. Because Mel is carnal or sensual and not truly spiritual, he perceiveth not the great evil of his mortal sins against the faith that are the very cause of his immoral sins: “The sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God; for it is foolishness to him, and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined.” (1 Cor. 2:14): Douay Commentary, on 1 Cor. 2:14: “The sensual man is… he who is taken up with sensual pleasures, with carnal and worldly affections… Now such a man has little or no notion of the things of God. Whereas the spiritual man is he who, in the mysteries of religion, takes not human sense for his guide: but submits his judgment to the decisions of the Church, which he is commanded to hear and obey.” Carnal or sensual men only understand carnal things, and hence God punishes them in a way that they can currently understand in order to get their attention. Consequently God allows them to fall into gross sins of immorality that carnal men can relate to because these sins are likewise carnal. By shaming men in this manner, God wants them to look deeper into the cause of their immoral sins. God says to these carnal men, “You can see how ugly your immoral sins are. Know, then, that your sins against the Catholic faith are much uglier and the cause of your immoral sins!” The spiritual man sees this. The carnal man does not because he is faithless and is not truly seeking God. For instance, a carnal man who murders another man sees his evil work before his face. But a carnal man who teaches heresy to another man (such as the heresy that Jews who do not believe in Jesus can be saved) does not see the great evil before his face because he is carnal and not spiritual—“He cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined.” He does not see with the eyes of faith that the spiritual sin of heresy murders souls and therefore is infinitely more evil than the carnal sin of murdering bodies. What follows is an example of how God punishes a man weak in his faith with carnal afflictions in order to draw his attention to his sins against faith that cause him to doubt: The Life of Saint Francis of Assisi, by St. Bonaventure, Miracles after His Death: “In Potenza, a city of Apulia, there lived a certain clerk, named Roger, an honourable man and a Canon of the Cathedral Church, …[who] went into that church to pray, where was a picture of the Blessed Francis, representing the glorious Stigmata. As he looked upon it, he began to doubt concerning that sublime miracle, as if it were something strange and impossible. As he was inwardly wounded by these idle thoughts, he felt himself severely wounded in his left hand under his glove, and at the same time heard a noise, like the whizzing of an arrow from a bow. He immediately took off his glove, desiring to see with his eyes what had already been impressed upon the senses of touch and hearing. His hand having been previously unwounded, he now saw in the midst of the palm a wound which seemed to proceed from an arrow-stroke, and so intense 11 was the burning pain, that he felt as if he must faint. Marvellous to say, there was no vestige of a hole in the glove, so that the secrecy of the wound in the heart corresponded with the secrecy of the wound inflicted as his penalty. For two whole days together he cried out with the intensity of the pain, and confessed to all around him the incredulity which had lurked in his heart. And he confessed and solemnly professed his belief in the Sacred Stigmata of St. Francis, every shadow of doubt having departed from him. And thus he suppliantly besought the Saint of God to help him by virtue of his Sacred Stigmata, pouring forth many heartfelt prayers, mingled with torrents of tears. Wonderful to say, having cast away his incredulity, the healing of his body followed that of his mind. All the pain vanished, the burning was cooled, no vestige of the wound remained; and so it was that, by the clemency and providence of God, the hidden sickness of the mind was cured by the visible cautery of the flesh, and as soon as the mind was healed the flesh also was made whole.” Hence we see that God uses carnal ways to get the attention of carnal men who have a weak faith or no faith. When these men make the proper connection that their carnal affliction is caused by their sins against the faith and they truly repent, God heals all of their spiritual ills, which includes sins against faith and morals. And this healing only the God of the Catholic Church can do. Mel punished by his own words Because Mel had publicly shamed and mocked God on Prime Time Live by sinning against the Catholic faith, God publicly shamed and mocked Mel by allowing him to be arrested for sins of immorality. Mel opened his heart to pagans, infidels, heretics, and schismatics worldwide by confessing his mortal sins of alcoholism and drunk driving to Diane Sawyer during his Prime Time Special Event interview, February 17, 2004, titled “Mel Gibson‟s Passion.” God publicly shamed and mocked Mel by using Mel‟s own words against him. Because of his recent arrest, Mel‟s own words during that interview rolled back upon his head and denounced him as stupid and insane and also exposed him as a sympathy-seeking hypocrite: Commentator: He says, thirteen years ago the man on all those magazine covers was, in fact, drowning. Mel: I was just like I didn‟t want to go on. Diane: Why? What... Mel: Okay... I‟m afflicted...with...you know everyone‟s got something. ...I would get addicted to anything. Anything at all, okay. Diane: Was it alcohol? Mel: Yeah, yeah, mostly it was...yeah. Look, don‟t I look like a rummy? Diane: Drugs? Mel: Drugs, booze, anything...you name it! Coffee, cigarettes, anything. All right? I‟m just one of these guys...who is like that. That‟s my flaw. Diane: But you talked about the fact that you went on benders, got into fights, was hell to live with… And they said five pints before work? Mel: Oh! Five pints of oil, yeah! Mmmmm...yeah. Diane: Beer? Mel: No, it was just to, you know, to keep the throat lubricated, you know. Sometimes I used to drive inebriated! I mean this is... this is the height of... careless stupidity. And when you think 12 about that kind of insanity... And that you... I look back at that now and I go, “What was I thinking?” I was...I was a wild boy. And we grew up in the 60‟s and 70‟s, and you know, wild times, and... Diane: Just...what kinds of carrying on? Mel: What flaws...shall I expose to the world here... Yeah, it‟s a... um... you know... done a lot of things I‟m not proud of. Like to hear another one? Diane: You got my attention! Mel: Yeah! Tell me another one! True confessions on national television... If Mel‟s confession had been sincere, then his public confession, like St. Augustine‟s, would have reaped good fruit. It would have shown non-Catholics how the Catholic God forgives and cures sinners who have faith in Him. However, if a sinner‟s motive is not sincere, his public confession would prove to be false and show him to be not only an unrepentant obstinate sinner but also a sympathy-seeking hypocrite. This is what happened to Mel. God used Mel‟s own insincere words against him by rolling them back upon his head when he was arrested for speeding and drunk driving, which exposed him as an obstinate sinner and sympathy-seeking hypocrite. This is one mark of a nominal Catholic. A nominal Catholic confesses his sins with no firm purpose of amendment. Hence he commits the same sins over and over again: St. John Mary Vianney: “HAVE YOU RELIGION IN YOUR HEART? - Alas, my dear brethren, what have we become… instead of going always forward and increasing in holiness, what laziness and what indifference we display! God cannot endure this perpetual inconstancy with which we pass from virtue to vice and from vice to virtue. Tell me, my children, is not this the very pattern of the way you live? Are your poor lives anything other than a succession of good deeds and bad deeds? Is it not true that you go to Confession and the very next day you fall again—or perhaps the very same day? How can this be, unless the religion you have is unreal, a religion of habit, a religion of long-standing custom, and not a religion rooted in the heart? Carry on, my friend; you are only a waverer! Carry on, my poor man; in everything you do, you are just a hypocrite and nothing else! God has not the first place in your heart; that is reserved for the world and the devil. How many people there are, my dear children, who seem to love God in real earnest for a little while and then abandon Him! What do you find, then, so hard and so unpleasant in the service of God that it has repelled you so strangely and caused you to change over to the side of the world? Yet at the time when God showed you the state of your soul, you actually wept for it and realized how much you had been mistaken in your lives. If you have persevered so little, the reason for this misfortune is that the devil must have been greatly grieved to have lost you because he has done so much to get you back. He hopes now to keep you altogether. How many apostates there are, indeed, who have renounced their religion and who are Christians in name only!”3 Mel speaks a truth and then denies it The one good thing Mel did during his arrest was to vent his righteous anger against the apostate Jews thus exposing his true belief that he lied about and hid during his previous public interviews: “For there is nothing hid, which shall not be made manifest.” (Mk. 4:22) In a fit of righteous anger, Mel manifested his true belief about the apostate Jews. During his arrest Mel rightly said, “The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world”: 3 St. John Mary Vianney, The Sermons of the Curé of Ars. 13 ABC News Report: “The allegations of anti-Semitism stem from a leaked arrest report posted on the Web site TMZ.com, quoting Gibson as saying, „The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world,‟ and asking a deputy, „Are you a Jew?‟” God used Mel‟s truthful comments about the Jews to shame Mel for not telling the truth about the apostate Jews during his many interviews. Mel‟s statement must be taken in correct context. It is obvious that Mel did not mean apostate Jews are behind every war in human history because the Jewish race did not exist until the birth of the twelve sons of Jacob, and Mel knows this. Mel‟s statement applies to apostate Jews during the New Covenant era and especially since the 18th century. St. Paul speaks of the apostate Jews‟ conspiracies to overthrow the Catholic Church from Her very birth. St. Paul says he was “serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and temptations which befell me by the conspiracies of the Jews.” (Acts 20:19) And he warns Catholics about the apostate Jews‟ plots: “For you, brethren, are become followers of the churches of God which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they have from the Jews: Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and the prophets, and have persecuted us, and please not God, and are adversaries to all men; Prohibiting us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath of God is come upon them to the end.” (1 Thess. 2:14-16) The apostate Jews themselves admit that they are behind all wars, the purpose of which is to bring their Antichrist to power: Protocols of Zion: “III. 14. ...Remember the French Revolution, to which it was we who gave the name of „Great‟: the secrets of its preparations are well known to us for it was wholly the work of our hands…” The Elders of Zion: “We are the fathers of all revolutions, even of those which sometimes turn against us. We are the supreme masters of peace and wars. …So far we have succeeded in overthrowing most of the Thrones of Europe. The rest will follow in the near future. Russia has already worshipped our rule. France, with her Masonic government, is under our thumb. England, in her dependence upon our finance, is under our heel; and in her Protestantism is our hope for the destruction of the Catholic Church. Spain and Mexico are but toys in our hands. And many other countries, including the U.S.A., have already fallen before our scheming.” (The Catholic Gazette, 1936) Catholic Prophecy, Yves DuPont, pp. 52-53: “Yet, if one wishes to understand the development of the Mystery of Iniquity up to our own times, it is essential to know that these destructive ideas, emanating from France and spreading there from throughout the world, were essentially Masonic ideas. Since these ideas were Jewish in origin and therefore anti-Christian, it is easy enough to understand why their acceptance in the modern world has led mankind to the brink of abyss. There is, of course, convincing bibliographical evidence of a Judeo-Masonic plot from the 18th century onwards, but it is not readily available. As a result, the mere mention of a „JudeoMasonic‟ plot is usually dismissed as right-wing extremism. “…The [French] Revolution is still with us. The issues may have changed but the spirit is the same, and it has now permeated the entire world. Behind all this, of course, stands a spiritual power I will make no bones about naming, no matter how old-fashioned it may sound: this is the devil in his eon-old struggle against God. He knows that his time is running short; he is intensifying his efforts and, being intelligent, realizes that his most likely cooperators are to be sought among those who crucified Christ. This he has done throughout the centuries and more particularly since the 18th century, until such time as the Mystery of Iniquity will find its completion in the earthly kingdom of the Jews under Anti-Christ. Many private prophecies say so, and not a few Doctors of the Church have thought so.” 14 The alliance between revolutionary movements and Jewish finance was no mystery to Benjamin D‟Israeli (Lord Beaconsfield), an apostate Jew. Just after the European revolutionary upheaval of 1848, he wrote the following: “The influence of the Jews may be traced in the latest outbreak of the destructive principle in Europe. And insurrection takes place against tradition and aristocracy, against religion and property. …Men of Jewish race are found at the head of every one of them. The people of God co-operate with Atheists; the most skilful accumulators of property ally themselves with Communists; the peculiar and chosen race touch the hand of all the scum and low castes of Europe; and all this because they wish to destroy the ungrateful Christendom which owes to them even its name, and whose tyranny they can no longer endure.” (Life of Lord George Bentinck, 1852, p. 497.) (See my book “Woe to You Who Call Evil Good!: „Jews conspire against Christ and His Catholic Church‟ and „They bring the Antichrist to power; the Catholic Church is their main enemy.‟”) The apostate Jews foment war against any Gentile nation that threatens their plan to bring the Antichrist to power. God‟s Word says that the apostate Jews are the ones who will successfully dominate the world and bring the Antichrist to power. Jesus told the unbelieving Jews the following: “I am come in the name of my Father, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name [the Antichrist], him you will receive.” (Jn. 5:43) Catholic commentary, on Jn. 5:43: “But if another, such as false prophets, or even Antichrist himself, who will pretend to be the Messias, come in his own name, him you will receive.” After God cornered Mel into speaking a truth about the apostate Jews, Mel ruined it by apologizing for his truthful remark and suspicions about the apostate Jews: CBS/AP: “„I want to apologize specifically to everyone in the Jewish community for the vitriolic and harmful words,‟ Gibson said in a statement issued by his publicist Tuesday. „Please know from my heart that I am not an anti-Semite. I am not a bigot. Hatred of any kind goes against my faith. There will be many in that (Jewish) community who will want nothing to do with me, and that would be understandable,‟ he added. „But I pray that that door is not forever closed.‟” Mel had better be careful, for God may just give him what he prays for—an open door and fellowship with the apostate Jews in hell forever. Mel desperately and pathetically begs the apostate Jews to love him! He is looking for love in all the wrong places because he does not know what true love is because he does not truly love God. Mel desperately wants to be loved by evildoers and the evil world, which is the same as saying he wants to be loved by the Devil. Jesus said, “Where thy treasure is, there is thy heart also.” (Mt. 6:21) Mel‟s treasure is laid up in hell, in an evil world with apostate Jews and other evil men; hence that is where his heart is. Mel would rather be loved by evildoers, such as the apostate Jews, than to be loved by the true God. St. James denounces Mel as an adulterer and enemy of the true God because Mel seeks the love and friendship of evildoers and the evil world: “Adulterers, know you not that the friendship of this world is the enemy of God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of this world, becometh an enemy of God.” (Ja. 4:4) Mel desperately wants to be friends with the evil world, with apostate Jews and the Hollywood crowd. Unless Mel denounces them and separates from them, there is no hope whatsoever for his repentance and conversion. Instead, God will continue to punish him. Thus the black cloud will continue to follow him, and he will continue to fall into pits of his own digging. 15 When Mel apologized for his truthful remark about the Jews, he committed yet another sin by referring to his remark as a sin, the sin of anti-Semitism. Mel said, “I want to apologize specifically to everyone in the Jewish community for the vitriolic and harmful words. …I am not an anti-Semite.” Hence Mel confessed a sin that is no sin and in so doing called good evil: “Woe to you that call… good evil.” (Isa. 5:20) Mel called good (his truthful remark about the apostate Jews) evil (by calling it the sin of anti-Semitism). Mel went along with the lying Jewish propaganda that any negative comment about Jews, no matter how true, is the racist sin of anti-Semitism. (See my books “Woe to You Who Call Evil Good!: Vatican II Church and John Paul II worship at the altar of Holocaust Memorials” and The Persecution of Rick Gonzalez.) Mel goes to the Devil instead of to God for spiritual help Mel does not see that his sins against the Catholic faith for defending the apostate Jews, as well as his other sins against the faith, are the main reason that God is punishing him. As a result Mel adds sin upon sin and punishment upon punishment: “Woe to you, apostate children, saith the Lord, that you would take counsel, and not of me: and would begin a web, and not by my spirit, that you might add sin upon sin.” (Isa. 30:1) Instead of taking counsel from God as to the true nature and cause of his sins, Mel has taken counsel from apostate Jews and other evildoers to discover the root cause of his sins. He has gone to the Devil for help instead of to God. Hence Mel is digging a deeper pit for himself. Mel, the cause and remedy for your sins are not what the evildoers tell you—there are many sins they call good and many good things they call sins. Mel, you add mortal sin upon mortal sin for going to evildoers and the evil world to identify and remedy your sins. The very evildoers you go to for spiritual help are one of the main causes of all your sins and other problems. Why did Mel lie and cower to the apostate Jews? Because they threatened to ruin his Hollywood career that he, in his vanity, lusts after: ABC News Report: “On Sunday, some in Hollywood debated whether Gibson‟s career could recover from the scandal. „It‟s a nuclear disaster for him,‟ said publicist Michael Levine, who has represented Michael Jackson and Charlton Heston, among others. „I don‟t see how he can restore himself.‟” CBS/AP: “„I don‟t think I want to see any more Mel Gibson movies,‟ Barbara Walters said Monday on the ABC talk show „The View.‟” Mel is so entrenched in the camp of the world, the flesh, and the Devil that he does all he can to please them and not the true God, the God of the Catholic Church. Mel jumps through hoops for apostate Jews After Mel had confessed his sin of anti-Semitism that was no sin of anti-Semitism, Mel went as far as to commit more sins against the Catholic faith by going to the apostate Jews and hence to the Devil to spiritually cure him of this supposed sin. In so doing, the apostate Jews have Mel jumping through hoops—something they trained him to do long ago. 16 The only question is just how often and how high Mel will jump. Abraham Foxman is coaxing Mel to jump through a hoop by suggesting that Mel attend the Jewish religious service of Yom Kippur to apologize to the Jews for his supposed sin of anti-Semitism: The Post Chronicle: “Anti-Defamation League: Mel Gibson Apology „Sounds Sincere,‟” by Toshiba Reynolds, Aug. 2, 2006: “ADL National Director Abraham Foxman issued this statement in response to Gibson‟s heartfelt words, „This is the apology we had sought and requested. We are glad that Mel Gibson has finally owned up to the fact that he made antiSemitic remarks, and his apology sounds sincere. We welcome his efforts to repair the damage he has caused, to reach out to the Jewish community, and to seek help. Once he completes his rehabilitation for alcohol abuse, we will be ready and willing to help him with his second rehabilitation to combat this disease of prejudice. In an effort to show their forbearance for the beleagured actor and to help smooth relations, the Jewish community has invited Gibson to speak on their holy day of atonement, Yom Kippur. We suggest he accept.‟”4 If Mel accepts, he will commit yet another sin against the Catholic faith for giving credence to a non-Catholic religion by attending or participating in their religious services. Some Jews have even said that Mel should get circumcised to prove that he really believes the apostate Jews are a good and holy people. They may even have Mel cleaning their synagogues, wearing a yarmulke, and talking Yiddish. You can also expect that the apostate Jews will have Mel doing commercials that place them in a good light as a holy people, that support their Christ-denying institutions, and that propagate their other lies, such as their big lie about the Holocaust which replaces the Passion of Christ as the number one crime of humanity. (See my book “Woe to You Who Call Evil Good: Christ‟s Passion replaced by the apostate Jews‟ „Passion.‟”) Previous to his arrest, Mel was producing a mini series on the Holocaust, which is yet another reason God punished Mel. The irony is that Mel dares not oppose his father, Hutton, regarding his father‟s heresies that directly attack God yet Mel does dare to oppose his father regarding the Holocaust fraud and the other Jewish conspiracies which his father rightly exposes: The New York Times: “Gibson to Delete a Scene in „Passion,‟” by Sharon Waxman, February 4, 2004: “Ms. Noonan, a former speechwriter for President Ronald Reagan, asked Mr. Gibson about his father, a conservative Catholic who was quoted in a New York Times Magazine article last March as denying that the Holocaust took place. Mr. Gibson answered that he loved his father. Ms. Noonan insisted: „You‟re going to have to go on record. The Holocaust happened, right?‟” It seems that Mel not only fears and loves his father more than he fears and loves God, but he fears and loves the apostate Jews more than he fears and loves his father. Therefore God is at the bottom of Mel‟s love list and the apostate Jews are on the top. The power of the apostate Jews over the minds and hearts of men in these final days is almost universal, which is not surprising to anyone who knows the final-day prophecies in which the Antichrist and his minions are feared and adored by almost the entire world: “And power was given him [the Antichrist] over every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation. And all that dwell upon the earth adored him…” (Apoc. 13: 7-8) “And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered together to make war with him that sat upon the horse, and with his army.” (Apoc. 19:19) 4 The Post Chronicle: “Anti-Defamation League: Mel Gibson Apology „Sounds Sincere,‟” by Toshiba Reynolds, Aug. 2, 2006. 17 Fr. Vincent Miceli, S. J., The Antichrist: “Since the Antichrist will pose as the Messiah, it had been universally accepted by the Christian tradition that he would be of the Jewish race and observe the Jewish rites. Moreover, according to St. Paul, the Antichrist will „sit in the Temple of God,‟—the Jewish Temple—according to the Fathers. Our Lord‟s own words support this prediction when he speaks of the „abomination of desolation‟ (an expression denoting the Antichrist in his full wickedness), „standing in the holy place.‟ …Such a secular, earthbound state (Israel) could easily become the political and military power base for the Antichrist when he comes. For the Antichrist will… reign with political, economic, military power over the whole world from his capital city, Jerusalem …” 5 The apostate Jews know they have been given the power to dominate the world in order to bring to power the Antichrist, who they think will be the Christ: David Ben Gurion, the first Prime Minister and Secretary of Defense of the modern Jewish state of Israel: “All continents will become united in a world alliance at whose disposal will be an international police force. All armies will be abolished, and there will be no more war. In Jerusalem the United Nations (a truly United Nations) will build a shrine of the prophets to serve the federated union of all continents, this will be the seat of the supreme court of mankind to settle all controversies among the federated continents, as prophesied by Isaiah.”6 Elders of Zion: “We are grateful to Protestants for their loyalty to our wishes—although most of them are, in the sincerity of their faith, unaware of their loyalty to us. We are grateful to them for the wonderful help they are giving us in our fight against the stronghold of Christian Civilisation, and in our preparations for the advent of our supremacy over the whole world and over the Kingdoms of the Gentiles.” (The Catholic Gazette) Protocols of Zion: “XV. When we at last definitely come into our kingdom… every kind of new institution of anything like a secret society will also be punished with death: those of them which are now in existence, are known to us, serve us and have served us…” The worst of nominal Catholics like Mel are those who do not recognize their enemies but instead consider them friends. Mel does not recognize the apostate Jews as enemies but instead considers them friends and goes to them for spiritual help rather than to God and the Catholic Church. A less dishonest apostate Jew, Kirk Douglas, sees the folly in Mel‟s actions and tells him to go to his own church for spiritual guidance: Yahoo Entertainment News, August 13, 2006, “Kirk Douglas Urges Gibson To Seek Catholic Help”: “Movie veteran Kirk Douglas has advised disgraced Mel Gibson to seek help from his own Catholic church leaders… In a column in today‟s (11Aug06) Daily Variety trade paper, Jewish Douglas has further blasted Gibson for his comments and urged him to seek „spiritual guidance‟ from his own church… „Mel is now ready to talk to a Jewish group or rabbi. I disagree. He is a Catholic and appears to need some spiritual guidance. Perhaps he should talk to one of his own faith. Maybe Cardinal Roger Mahoney (Los Angeles cleric) could be a great help.‟” What Kirk may or may not know is that his advice, if followed, would throw Mel out of the pan and into the fire because neither Mel‟s church nor the Vatican II Church is Catholic but are apostate Jewish instruments. After all, that is where Mel got his heresies regarding the Jews in the first place. Either way, Mel ends up going to apostate Jews for spiritual guidance. As bad as Kirk Douglas is, at least he does not add hypocrisy to his apostasy. He does not pretend that Catholics and Talmudic Jews are the same—even though he does not know that Mel and the Vatican II Church are not Catholic. 5 6 Fr. Vincent Miceli, S. J., The Antichrist, 1981, p. 112. Look Magazine, January 16, 1962, p. 20. 18 Mel asks apostate Jews to cure his supposed hidden sin of anti-Semitism While apologizing to the apostate Jews for his supposed sin of anti-Semitism, Mel said he is not a bigot but implies that racism may be hiding in the deep recesses of his heart, as the apostate Jew Abraham Foxman readily acknowledges. Mel also asks apostate Jews to help him with his supposed sin of anti-Semitism: The Post Chronicle: Mel Gibson: “I am not a bigot. I am in the process of understanding where those vicious words came from during that drunken display, and I am asking the Jewish community, whom I have personally offended, to help me on my journey through recovery. Again, I am reaching out to the Jewish community for its help.”7 Christian Century Magazine: “„It may well be that bigotry has been passed from father to son,‟ Foxman [head of the ADL] said. „It is unfortunate that it took an excess of booze and an encounter with a traffic cop to reveal what was really in his heart and mind.‟” 8 CBS/AP: “Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, said the process requires hard work. „You can‟t just say I‟m no longer a drunk; you can‟t just say I‟m no longer a bigot. You need to work hard at it, and we‟re ready to help him,‟ Foxman said.” Christian Century Magazine: “Later, Gibson asked to meet with Jewish community leaders to „have a one-on-one discussion to discern the appropriate path for healing.‟” 9 Since Mel has turned himself over to the apostate Jews for spiritual help with his supposed sin of anti-Semitism, the ultimate goal of the apostate Jews is to psychoanalyze Mel and solve the mystery as to where his “vicious words” came from and then to rehabilitate him. They will try to get Mel to confess that the ultimate cause of his supposed anti-Semitism is his movie The Passion of the Christ and the gospels that it is based upon, hence discrediting the gospels as evil and the cause of racism. They will try to link this as the hidden cause of Mel‟s deep-seated and hidden anti-Semitism. If Mel does not jump through this hoop or go this far, the apostate Jews will say that he is in denial of the root cause of his anti-Semitism and hence he will never be cured until he admits that the gospels are evil and the root cause of his hidden anti-Semitism. You see, dear reader, the apostate Jews must ultimately discredit Jesus Christ and the gospels to bring their Christ (that is, the Antichrist) to power. Mel is giving them a good opportunity to do this. Mel is now at center stage in the Jewish freak show. In the eyes of Talmudic Jews, Mel Gibson is nothing more than a circus clown, a stupid Goy, a soul-less beast, a puppet on their string whom they manipulate at will: Elders of Zion: “And the Gentiles, in their stupidity, have provided easier dupes than we expected them to be. One would expect more intelligence and more practical common sense, but they are no better than a herd of sheep.” (The Catholic Gazette, 1936) God is just and will not be mocked without consequence! God allows evildoers to punish one another and to be punished by their own sins. While Mel publicly mocks the true 7 The Post Chronicle: “Anti-Defamation League: Mel Gibson Apology „Sounds Sincere,‟” by Toshiba Reynolds, Aug. 2, 2006. 8 The Christian Century Magazine, “Gibson‟s anti-Semitic outburst,” August 22, 2006. 9 Ibid. 19 God and attempts to make a fool of Him, it is Mel who is publicly mocked by the apostate Jews and his own public sins; and hence it is Mel who is the true fool. We few Catholics that are left in the world pray that Mel stops jumping through hoops for the apostate Jews and starts jumping through hoops only for the one true God, the God of the Catholic Church. We pray that he stops apologizing to the apostate Jews, starts denouncing them, abjures all of his heresies, and thus enters the Catholic Church. Only then can Mel hope to start living a moral life. Mel delivered by God into the hands of his enemies Because of Mel‟s obstinate sins, God has delivered him into the hands of his enemies to be punished by them: “If you walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you for your sins… You shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies.” (Lev. 26:21, 25) Not just Mel but all nominal Catholics have been turned over to their enemies in one way or another: “And the nations shall know that the house of Israel [nominal Catholics] were made captives for their iniquity, because they forsook me, and I hid my face from them: and I delivered them into the hands of their enemies… I have dealt with them according to their uncleanness, and wickedness, and hid my face from them.” (Ez. 39:23-24) God has consistently warned His chosen people to remain faithful or else they will be delivered into the hands of their enemies and become a joy to them: “For a wicked soul shall destroy him that hath it, and maketh him to be a joy to his enemies, and shall lead him into the lot of the wicked.” (Eclcus. 6:4) Indeed, Mel has been delivered into the hands of his enemies, into “the lot of the wicked,” and has become a joy to them. Not only are they delighted in using Mel‟s sins against him but they are most of all delighted to use Mel‟s sins and supposed sins to further discredit the Catholic God, Catholic Church, and Catholic religion. The question is, Have Mel‟s enemies been stalking and setting traps for him? Yes, says God and the Catholic Church. The most powerful enemy is the Devil, whose job is to stalk and trap men so that they may fall into sin. St. Peter warns men to “Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour.” (1 Pt. 5:8) Hence the most powerful enemy that stalked and trapped Mel is the Devil and the next is the apostate Jew. God uses evildoers as his ministers of justice; hence God has evildoers stalking, trapping, harassing, and punishing one another. So Mel‟s suspicion that the Jews have been stalking him in order to get some dirt on him is true. What Mel does not see is that his being caught by them is a just punishment from God because of his obstinate sins. 20 Mel responded incorrectly to God’s punishment—goes to the Devil for help Mel should be thankful that God punished him by allowing him to be arrested and publicly disgraced because “whom the Lord loveth, he chastiseth; and he scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. …If you be without chastisement… then are you bastards, and not sons.” (Heb. 12:6-8) This punishment from God was a warning for Mel to repent and convert. Sadly, Mel has not responded appropriately to God‟s punishment because he has not identified the main reason for his punishment and the correct and only cure for his sins. He has not recognized that his sins against the Catholic faith are the cause of his immoral sins and the main reason God punished him. Instead of going to God and the Catholic Church to be cured of his immoral sins, Mel goes to the Devil for help, to rehabs (secular rehabilitation clinics) and apostate Jews. Any so-called Catholic who goes for spiritual help to any person, group, or thing other than the Catholic Church and Her faith, sacraments, rosaries and other prayers, penances, and sacramentals commits a mortal sin against the First Commandment and mocks the true God and His power to cure all spiritual ills. In so doing these so-called Catholics commit an act of idolatry by putting their faith in devils and humans instead of in the one true God, the Catholic God, who alone cures spiritual ills. They say to God that the Catholic faith, sacraments, rosaries and other prayers, penances, and sacramentals that He has given Catholics are insufficient to cure their spiritual ills. Instead they go to men and things that cannot give them one iota of grace, cast out one devil, remit one sin, or truly alleviate a guilty conscience. Instead, to cure their spiritual ills, they go to rehabs, psychiatrists, psychologists, and any other quacks and kooks who are spiritually sick themselves because their spirituality comes from Satan. In short, they go to the Devil for help and not to God! And what is the result of going to these godless persons and things for spiritual help? They incur God‟s intense wrath, and hence their sins and other problems only get worse since God will not allow them to get better by these evil methods: “There is no peace to the wicked, saith the Lord.” (Isa. 57:21) To punish them, all God has to do is leave them to the evil method of their choosing because it cannot accomplish anything good. Even if one of their problems seems to get cured, this is only an illusion because another will take its place. Mel puts the Mass before the Faith You may say, But Mel is Catholic and goes to confession and the Holy Mass and receives the Holy Eucharist and prays. You are wrong about the first thing: Mel is not Catholic even though he says he is. Catholic is more than just a name. You are right about the other things. And this makes Mel‟s sin of going to non-Catholics for spiritual help even worse because in the eyes of non-Catholics he mocks the efficacy of confession, the Holy Mass, the Holy Eucharist, and prayer. Self-professed non-Catholics can say, If these things are sufficient to cure all spiritual ills, then why is Mel going to non-Catholic people and things for spiritual help? What these people do not see is that the problem with Mel is he does these Catholic things unworthily because he is a notorious heretic and obstinately immoral. Hence, as the Catholic Church teaches, these Catholic things become a curse to Mel instead of a blessing. Regarding the Holy Eucharist, St. Paul says, “Whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be 21 guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.” (1 Cor. 11:27) The problem is not with the Catholic prayers that Mel is praying but with Mel‟s obstinate turning away from God‟s laws: “He that turneth away his ears from hearing the law, his prayer shall be an abomination.” (Prv. 28:9) Mel and other nominal Catholics are forbidden under pain of sacrilege to receive the sacrament of penance and the other sacraments because they are heretics: 1917 Code of Canon Law: “Canon 731. It is forbidden to administer the Sacraments of the Church to heretics and schismatics… unless they shall have previously renounced their errors and obtained reconciliation with the Church.” If Mel and other nominal Catholics violate this law by going to confession, they commit the mortal sin of sacrilege and their sins will not be remitted because outside the Catholic Church there is no remission of sins and heretics are outside the Catholic Church: Pope Boniface VIII, Unam Sanctum, 1302: “Outside the Church there is no salvation nor remission of sins.” Pope Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum: “St. Augustine notes that „other heresies may spring up, to a single one of which, should any one give his assent, he is by the very fact cut off from Catholic unity… if any one holds to one single one of these [heresies] he is not a Catholic.‟” 10 Therefore, even though Mel goes to confession, attends the Tridentine Mass, receives the Holy Eucharist, prays, and may do penance, these things do not help him because he is a notorious heretic and obstinately immoral. Not only do confession and the Holy Eucharist not help him but they also bring down more curses upon his head for sins of sacrilege. He also brings down more curses upon his head for attending Mass at a non-Catholic church and praying in communion with non-Catholics like himself. In short, Mel has put the Mass and sacraments before the Catholic Faith—or rather, in his case, instead of the Catholic faith. (See my book Faith Before the Mass.) Members of the Vatican II and Traditionalist sects are just like Mel I wrote this article to denounce not only Mel but all so-called Catholics like Mel who have the same problems in one way or another. Mel Gibson is a typical Traditionalist socalled Catholic. Like all the Traditionalists, Mel is a pre-Vatican II non-Catholic heretic whose sins against the faith cause him to commit sins of immorality that he has not been able to overcome. The pre-Vatican II heretics invoked God‟s wrath, and hence God punished them with the Great Apostasy of the Vatican II Church. The main problem is not the abominable non-Catholic Vatican II Church and its notoriously apostate members. No! The non-Catholic Vatican II Church is the result of heretics like Mel who put the Mass before the Faith for several centuries before Vatican II. These Traditionalist heretics put the Holy Mass before the Holy Catholic Faith, thus meriting the title of Sunday Catholics. Again, Sunday Catholics, or nominal Catholics, are not truly Catholic even though they think they are. They are Catholic in name only, but not in fact. These heretics give the true God, Catholic Church, and Catholic religion a bad name. Sunday Catholics pretend to be Catholic by going to confession and attending Mass on Sunday 10 See my book “Heresy and Heretics: Penalties Incurred by Heretics: Automatic excommunication and loss of membership.” 22 but the rest of the week they behave according to their true nature, as non-Catholic, immoral pigs. Just because some Traditionalists are not drunkards does not mean that they are moral. There are many types of immoral sins. Many Traditionalists covet the American Dream, coveting material prosperity and judging all things according to a man‟s material prosperity. They commit mortal sins of envy, calumny, detraction, gossip, gluttony, racism, immodesty, feminism, effeminacy, greed, etc. And because they put the Mass before the truth, the Catholic faith, none of their sins can be remitted: “The Lord is only for them that wait upon him in the way of truth and justice. The most High approveth not the gifts of the wicked: neither hath he respect to the oblations of the unjust, nor will he be pacified for sins by the multitude of their sacrifices.” (Eclcus. 34:21-24) To all the apostates and heretics who think they are Catholic, such as members of the Vatican II Church and all Traditionalist sects, this letter is a warning that you are on the broad road to hell. If you want to leave the broad road to hell and enter the narrow road that leads to heaven, take heed to the remedies mentioned in this letter: “Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat. How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it!” (Mt. 7:13-14) Let this be a hope and a sign to you: I was once like you. I was a so-called Catholic who in reality was a very immoral non-Catholic apostate. Yet by the grace and power of the God of the Catholic Church, the mediation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the intercession of the angels and saints, and my cooperation, God has converted me after many trials and tribulations. I make St. Paul‟s words my own: “For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God, I am what I am; and his grace in me hath not been void, but I have laboured more abundantly than all they: yet not I, but the grace of God with me.” (1 Cor. 15:9-10) From the prayer “Consecration of the Human Race to the Sacred Heart of Jesus” M ost Sweet Jesus, Redeemer of the human race…Many indeed have never known Thee; many, too, despising Thy precepts, have rejected Thee. Have mercy on them all, most Merciful Jesus, and draw them to Thy Sacred Heart. Be Thou King, O Lord, not only of the faithful who have never forsaken Thee, but also of the prodigal children who have abandoned Thee. Grant that they may quickly return to their Father‟s house lest they die of wretchedness and hunger. Be thou King of those who are deceived by erroneous opinions or whom discord keeps aloof, and call them back to the harbor of truth and unity of faith… Be thou King of all those who are still involved in the darkness of idolatry of Islamism, and refuse not to draw them all into the light and kingdom of God. Turn Thine eyes of mercy toward the children of that race, once Thy chosen people. Of old they called down upon themselves the Blood of the Saviour: may it now descend upon them as a laver of redemption and of life. 23 Grant, O Lord, to Thy Church, assurance of freedom and immunity from harm; give peace and order to all nations, and make the earth resound from pole to pole with one cry: Praise to the Divine Heart that wrought our salvation; to It be glory and honor forever. Amen. 24
